The Norfolk district attorney on Saturday criticized the initial response of health officials to problems at a Jamaica Plain crime laboratory, saying it did not match the seriousness and scope of the questions concerning a former chemist’s handling of evidence.
District Attorney Michael Morrissey’s comments came two days after state officials shut down Hinton State Laboratory Institute indefinitely. State Police and the attorney general’s office are investigating complaints that a laboratory chemist, who has since resigned, repeatedly broke rules about documenting samples.

Read it. The article said that thousands, THOUSANDS of cases have to be reviewed. Outrageous,egregious, gross, shameless, unconsciable. ( I went to my thesaurus to express the depth of my outrage.) Possibly thousands of innocent people in prison now because of this shameless person, and being the cynic that I am, I suspect collusion between this lab employee and prosecutors who wanted convictions over justice. Now, will this horror show just float away and never be heard from again? Globe Spotlight Team,please keep after it.
